Deutschtown Homes for Rent

Deutschtown, also known as East Allegheny, is a historic neighborhood in Pittsburgh dating back to the late 19th century with roots in German immigration. As a National, State, and Local Historic District, it is the closest neighborhood to Downtown Pittsburgh, making it highly accessible for residents who often forgo cars. The area features a mix of residential and commercial spaces, with quiet residential streets separate from the activity on Ohio Street. Housing options range from Victorian townhomes to modern styles, with prices varying from $150,000 for fixer-uppers to $700,000 for spacious historic properties near Allegheny Commons Park. This park, the oldest public park in the city, offers tree-shaded sidewalks, waterways, and city skyline views, and hosts events like the Pittsburgh Water Lantern Festival and Pumpkinfest. Deutschtown is known for its vibrant dining scene, including Hungarian cuisine at Huszar, German pub fare at Maz’s Allegheny Tavern, and wood-fired dishes at Fig and Ash, which was featured in Pittsburgh Magazine’s 25 Best Restaurants. The Penn Brewery, the city’s oldest, is a popular weekend spot with live music. The neighborhood also hosts the Northside Music Festival, a three-day event with live music, art vendors, and food trucks. Local attractions include the Children's Museum and the National Aviary. Deutschtown is served by the Pittsburgh Public School District, with students attending Pittsburgh King for K-8 and Pittsburgh Perry High for high school. The area is well-connected by Interstate 279 and Pittsburgh Regional Transit buses, and many residents walk or bike to work.
